The Pink Panther began as the animated character in the credits of the 1963 film and soon became a cartoon star in his own right, known for his silent, cool and mischievous personality. The 1993 television series The Pink Panther brought him back for a new generation, and its intro used short musical cues like this Think Pink sting. Clips from the intro have since circulated online as reaction sounds, with creators reusing the cue whenever a scene needs instant cartoon stealth, charm or a knowing pink-themed punchline.
